In laboratory experiments, some in human cells and others in mouse cells, researchers found that the process for copying mtDNA (or replication), an essential aspect to energy production, is prone to stalling
“Since the discovery of the DNA double helix more than 50 years ago, helicase’s activity in preparing DNA for replication has been poorly understood,” says researcher
A new method for controlling the DNA duplication process makes it possible to shrink the current desktop machines to handheld devices which could be used in the field to provide early diagnosis of a wide range of infectious diseases
Los Alamos team identifies features that differentiate among F. tularensis and other novel clinical and environmental Francisella isolates
The findings are based on the largest genome-wide association meta-analysis and replication study to date mapping and comparing the genetics of more than 105,000 light and heavy social drinkers
Researchers at the University of Oxford have demonstrated that the diets of organisms can affect the DNA sequences of their genes
In this preclinical study, 100 percent of the animal models were protected from Zika after vaccination followed by a challenge with the Zika virus
Researchers have developed a way to produce the tools for figuring out gene function faster and cheaper than current methods
Some errors can cancel out or suppress the fallout of those mutations known to cause disease
